What is the best resource to use for booking a disney (Fla) vacation?

Question

My family and sisters family and parents (6 adults, 3 children) would like to plan a vacation to disney in florida. What is the best website/agent/resource to use to do so? I want to make sure I am get a fair price and also legitimate travel assistance.

Lastly, for those that have been there, are there houses or condos or something that can be rented that are big enough for all of us?

THANKS!

I guess I should add that Disney states that all of their resorts are soldout for that timeframe. Any suggestions on where to go to look for accomodations?

Answer 1

Which week are you thinking about visiting? I've never heard of all of the Disney Resorts being sold out. Granted, the Delux resorts go quickly during marathons and other large events. But the All Star Resorts are some of the largest resorts (hotel capacity) in the nation and they have never sold out completely. However, it sounds like you'll need a condo style resort anyway.
I recommend the Lake Suites. These are full-sized family suites and some are even bi-level for larger parties! They range anywhere from $69 a night to $120 a night, depending on the size you need. My favorite perk of this resort is the full sized kitchen, available in every unit. And they offer complimentary shuttle service to and from the Disney parks every 30 minutes! They are a wonderful resort for a large family. Click here to learn more!

Answer 2

For a vacation planner try a Disney Vacation Planner. There are Disney resorts with rooms as big as condos. Disney calls them Villas. You could probably all stay in the same villa. It would just cost more than getting separate rooms. They have some pretty good villas at Disney's Old Key West Resort. They're beautiful. Hope this helps. Have fun!

My family just went in 2006 and we stayed in a villa the villa is nice and the rooms are all themed in different Disney themes.And his price is really reasonable.We had five bedrooms and three bathrooms and Had a game room and also a private pool in the back yard.We also got our tickets thru a legit agency.If you book this house he will also send you this book for free that will assist you with all of the Disney parks and also the web site for the theme parks are the most reasonable that I have found.If you do book with them tell them that the Norwood family referred you.

Answer 5

TripAdvisor.com is a great help. It's a forum but similar to Yahoo answers. They will not only advise you as to best places to go and stay but can give you their unbiased opinion as to how the places were. Just take what people say with a grain of salt because something "I hated that they only offered two double beds and each bedroom - it made my experience awful" is something that may not bother you.
Also keep checking disney. As dates get closer, cancellations do occur and availability is constantly changing so it doesn't hurt to continue calling their reservation center for availability in the meantime.
Have a great time!
